Android - TabLayout in AndroidX

Question

I just tried to implement tabLayout on Android with androidX and im not able to do it.

Is tabLayout on androidX deprecated?

You can use the TabLayout provided by the Material Components Library. — Gabriele Mariotti

You need to add material library as a dependency to build.gradle file to use TabLayout

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
}

also inclue google() maven repository to the repositories section of the root build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
      google()
      jcenter()
    }
}

You can read the Getting started with Material Components for Android to learn more about the library.

TabLayout belongs to Maven artifact com.android.support:design:$version

if you want to use TabLayout in androidX you need to add material library

so you need to add implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0' in dependency.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
}
